Narrative:

On oct/xa/00 at XA45, I was taxiing aircraft X from the hangar to the runway 19R run-up pad for engine runs. Tower instructed me to taxi via taxiway B, taxiway G, hold short of runway 13/31. I proceeded to taxi to taxiway G, then turned northbound on taxiway G with the intent to hold short of runway 13/31. With no indication of runway 13/31 on taxiway G traveling northbound, I proceeded to taxi to the oncoming wigwag lights realizing I had just crossed the intended hold short runway. In hindsight I should have stopped, looked at an airport map, or asked the tower for progressive. Factors in my fault I believe are the following: visibility -- as you will see on the attached report, I had reduced visibility, which turns out to be the reason tower had me hold short of the runway. Nonstandard given taxi route -- maintenance personnel are hardly ever instructed to taxi the above said route due to an inconvenient route. Finally, markings -- as you will see on the attached report, I had no indication, traveling northbound on taxiway G, where runway 13/31 crossed taxiway G.

Title: MAINT TECHNICIAN TAXIING AN MD80 TO RUN-UP AREA IN FOG CONDITIONS CROSSES AN ACTIVE RWY WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: ON OCT/XA/00 AT XA45, I WAS TAXIING ACFT X FROM THE HANGAR TO THE RWY 19R RUN-UP PAD FOR ENG RUNS. TWR INSTRUCTED ME TO TAXI VIA TXWY B, TXWY G, HOLD SHORT OF RWY 13/31. I PROCEEDED TO TAXI TO TXWY G, THEN TURNED NBOUND ON TXWY G WITH THE INTENT TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 13/31. WITH NO INDICATION OF RWY 13/31 ON TXWY G TRAVELING NBOUND, I PROCEEDED TO TAXI TO THE ONCOMING WIGWAG LIGHTS REALIZING I HAD JUST CROSSED THE INTENDED HOLD SHORT RWY. IN HINDSIGHT I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED, LOOKED AT AN ARPT MAP, OR ASKED THE TWR FOR PROGRESSIVE. FACTORS IN MY FAULT I BELIEVE ARE THE FOLLOWING: VISIBILITY -- AS YOU WILL SEE ON THE ATTACHED RPT, I HAD REDUCED VISIBILITY, WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE THE REASON TWR HAD ME HOLD SHORT OF THE RWY. NONSTANDARD GIVEN TAXI RTE -- MAINT PERSONNEL ARE HARDLY EVER INSTRUCTED TO TAXI THE ABOVE SAID RTE DUE TO AN INCONVENIENT RTE. FINALLY, MARKINGS -- AS YOU WILL SEE ON THE ATTACHED RPT, I HAD NO INDICATION, TRAVELING NBOUND ON TXWY G, WHERE RWY 13/31 CROSSED TXWY G.
